Sun-Times: Seahawks have no chance

In a guest column in the Chicago Sun-Times, Norman Chad offers the opinion that the Seahawks have no chance against the Bears.

But what Chad — hey, where’s Jeremy? — is really doing is making fun of all the hissy fits that have broken out around water coolers and on bar stools about the Seahawks and their losing record in the sacred temple of the NFL playoffs.

Yes, with a losing record the Seahawks made the playoffs and got a home game.

Over this we’re supposed to lose sleep?

If memory serves me correctly, there was a presidential election about 10 years ago in which the man who received fewer votes than his opponent won the White House – and somehow the republic survived. So I think we can still strive for a better tomorrow in the wake of the horrifying injustice of the Seahawks’ 7-9 spoils

Could be worse, he notes. The current system would allow a 3-13 team to make the playoffs and have a home game.

As for the game against the Bears:

So can this Seahawks fairytale make it all the way to Super Bowl 45? In a perfect world, yes. But who said it was a perfect world? The Seahawks are terrible – if they were to lift the Vince Lombardi Trophy, it would be like Bristol Palin winning “Dancing With the Stars.”

On Sunday, they’ll lose to the Bears in Chicago, maybe by 30 points. Who let these guys in, anyway?
